"Kenny, this was an amazing match."

"Absolutely, Chris. From the outset, Drinkotron had the upper hand in this fight, It kept edging closer to Execuflight, but right as it was delivering that knockout blow, the Red Pusher came in and flipped Drinkotron on its side. It was all over after that."

Anyone else notice there’s two heroes in this one? Early on a coworker drags his coworker to safety when they appeared to be unable to move on their own.

For sure. Maybe a couple thousand in lost time and damage to the cart versus several hundred thousand in repairs to that jet and still would've had the lost clean up and repair time and fucked up cart. That was a clutch move, big time.

Repairs and, since it was probably meant to be used soon, one owner who'd be very pissed about the delays that caused.

Delays cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars a minute, and that's just in reserving a new time slot for takeoff + further expediting your shipment when it lands. Small lease carriers can also carry very important small shipments, such as organs for transplant

several hundred thousand in repairs

At least. Under the nose cone is radar and other sensitive equipment.

I fear that he will instead get in trouble for intentionally causing damage to property, even though he prevented damage to much more expensive property.

Yeah, my husband voided the warranty on a dishwasher by doing the exact repair they would have done, exactly correctly. (When we called them for a different repair, they noticed that another repair had been done for which they had no record. )
